American Idol, Foxnews and music software

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

While reading “it seems the slightest bit unfair that you are allowed to use a program to write music that has had everyone heralding you an original on “Idol.”" on Foxnews regarding Blake’s Ableton Live enthusiasm yesterday (8.000.000 people watching) i really wonder what they think SHOULD be used to write music. Pencil and paper? Tape machines? Wax rolls?
Anyway, thanks to Blake for promoting our beloved tool (and therefore flooding several inboxes)!
